Nothing says all-American summer eats quite like hot dogs. Here’s where to go for a few of our favorites

1 Persimmon Café
Don’t let the artisan coffees hide the real gem at this new spot: the venison beef hot dog with chutney and mustard on a lanky roll is the real deal. 226 Calhoun St., (843) 937-5399, www.persimmoneats.com

2 Skoogie’s
Family-operated Skoogie’s has been steaming dogs Chicago-style for more than 30 years. Order the “All the Way” with mustard, relish, sauerkraut, peppers, pickles, cheese, tomatoes, and celery salt served on a poppyseed bun. 840-C Coleman Blvd., Mount Pleasant, (843) 884-0172, www.originalskoogies.com

4 RiverDogs
With options like “The Homewrecker,” an all-beef half-pound monstrosity featured on Man vs. Food, it’s the hot dogs that have us heading to The Joe. For local flavor, you can’t beat “The RiverDog” with pickled okra, coleslaw, and barbecue sauce. 360 Fishburne St., (843) 577-3647, www.milb.com
